old, was In tho Criminal Court to-day to an
swer to two indictments, one charging him
with the theft OF $50. tho other with robbina a
barber shop. Devine has been locked up for
some time. AS outlined by his attorney, De-
vines defence on the charge OF stealing the
money involves little romance. A tug Cap
tains residence was despoiled OF the money.
This Captain has charming young daughter,
who kept company with Devine When ar
rested Devine declared that the money was
taken by the girl In court this morning the
letters written by the young woman caused the
prosecutor to hesitate about trying the theft
case. In these letters tho author acknowledges
the theft Of the money, but the police say she
was induced to write the letters by Deyine,
and according to them she did It to save him.
The writer is pretty girl OF 10, though she
looks older. In one Of the letters she says:
You say for to stay hero till the trial comes or
will give letters before 20 that will provo that

In another she says:

was missed entered q barber shop through O
